Sorry to hear that you had problems, especially on both trucks.
Might be related to the fact that is has been flushed instead of only a fluid replacement.  Damn trannies. When I bought mine 3 months ago, it was perfect. Now it starts to do the lurch once in a while. Since the truck is relatively low mileage 48000mi, I might try to do a fluid / filter change, but I'm a bit nervous. Maybe if I take one of my cats and drop it in a volcano, the Gods will be on my side.

When I bought my X, it was driven by the garage owner during the time it was for sale (about 3 weeks). According the the fuel consumption computer, he had a heavy foot. But the tranny was working flawlessly. Since I own the X, (3 months) I meanly use it to go to work in traffic and on highways, so, only smooth driving. Maybe I should try to drive it in a more sporty way to see if it changes something. What bugs me the most, is not the fact the the transmission is holding the 2nd gear a long time before engaging the 1st, but it's the delay in the downshifting (2nd-1st). That delay is like a neutral that last a fraction of a second, but causes a problem if I happen to reaccelerate during that time. (high rev, then bang). I think I will try the oil change. I also read on a French (France) forum dedicated to X serie, and they are in a big percentage in favor of changing the oil in our trucks, compared to here where it is like 50-50. Over there, they have access to ZF shops, and the ZF techs suggest to change the oil in their trannies, even if BMW says no. Hummm, so many conflicting opinions....

Aswell as about 5 other tranny isues I had a slight lurch with my X....felt as if I was being pushed from behind when coming to a stop. Changed the tranny and TC in the end and all my issues have gone, everything is so silllllky smooth, long may it last.

i have 122000 km on mine now and the lurch is absolutely minimal, where as it used to whack you so hard you thought you had been rear ended, now as i stated previously it only happens if im slowing to a stop and then allow the car to sneak forward, and then only noticeable in peak hour crawling traffic, so software and an oil change appear to have made the difference.
i also recently found out that by slipping in into neutral in stationary traffic was not helping. apparently the trans detects this sort of motoring and will hold second gear ( while stop start crawling) unless speed goes over 40 kmph OR you select neutral, so apparently if in stop start driving conditions its best just to leave it in gear, ive been trying this lately and cant say if it helps or not

I completely agree. I know quite a few people back in Russia with X5s and a shit ton of other bimmers. Most people change the oil frequently. It just seems here we have too many what if it breaks after the oil swap opinions. My logic, if it breaks, I will deal with it, but this unknown as to why the hell it is happening, and me adapting driving techniques like its a damn clunker, that is pissing me off. And I always drained and filled all of my transmissions on all of my cars. I try to do it every 3rd oil change. Never had one fail on me.
Waiting for my ZF oil patiently.
